Urgent Interview Question

[Greene Giant 0]

Hi everyone. We are in the process of finishing all our paper work for the interview. We noticed that at the bottom of the checklist it states we have to show proof of his status in the US. How do we go about doing that? We figure that they already have copies of his birth certificate and passport in our file. My fiancee the petitioner is a US citizen by birth. Do we have to take proof of his status in the US to the interview? Thanks

P.S THis is his fiancee Alicia

Alicia,

My fiance is US citizen from Birth, we provided all the proof you mentioned when we started and AGAIN I am taking copy of his birth and original to the interview with me. If it is on the checklist, I would take it

Hope that helps!

Keep in mind that the checklist addresses multiple kinds of visas and multiple situations. Not everything on the checklist applies to everyone. For example, evidence of domicile is only required if the USC does not reside in the US, and the 864 is for CR1/IR1s, not K1s.

That said, I'm fairly sure the evidence of status is for permanent residents in America petitioning for spouses/fiances. However, it doesn't hurt to bring a photocopy of the USC's birth certificate and his passport biographic info page. Originals of the USC's birth certificate are rarely requested nowadays at Montreal, it seems.

we just brought his passport d/l and i think some brought a voter registration card. Although since its for a K1 you dont really need much. You can bring his BC if you want as well for added umph. but if he was not a us citizen residing in the us in the first place he could not petition for you. Which makes me wonder why they bother asking this of k1. usually they need it to prove domicile for cr/ir 1, they need to make the bloody checklists separate. not use an all in one list.

There is never any harm in being prepared and bringing extra copies of items you've already sent. In theory they have everything but they've been known to misplace things before!

Each step of this immigration process you will be repeated asked to provide the same information you already have, including copies of documents and filling out the same forms again. Don't be surprised!

I think they are looking for US domicile of the USC. Check the first thread under Canada on VJ about establishing domicile.
